Gekkeikan “Amazake”

Here’s an introduction to Gekkeikan’s “Amazake.”

“Amazake” is an amazake made from a blend of rice koji and sake lees.

Amazake contains dietary fiber, which is often lacking in our diets.


One can of amazake contains 2.8 grams of dietary fiber.
- Blended Amazake Made with Sake Lees and Rice Koji
- Contains 2.8 g of dietary fiber
Founded in Kyoto, Japan, in 1637, the company manufactures and sells sake and liqueurs.

The package can is red and features a Koshien design.

The white section of the product name “Amazake” is shaped like a grain of rice and is designed to evoke the image of “rice extract being squeezed out in droplets.”
My thoughts on drinking amazake

The amazake poured into the cup is milky white.


There are no rice grains, and it has a slightly thick consistency.

When I took a sip, I could taste the well-balanced flavor of sake lees and rice koji amazake, accompanied by a thick, creamy texture.
